In Kg2 the students participated in International Dot day. This is from the book "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds that tells the story of a girl that does not think she is a good artist and is unwilling to try. Through the help of her art teacher she becomes inspired and starts creating amazing art. Our students took inspiration from this book to create their own unique 3D dot. The students learned how to trace and overlap shapes as well as how to draw different types of lines and shapes and then doing a oil pastel and paint resist. The 3D dot was created by using the robot
Sphero and the children enjoyed learning how to control and move Sphero to help them paint their projects. The photos below are of the students sketch books to show their ideas and how they practiced with lines as well as the finished project. You can come and see their work on display out side of room F38.
